Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
I wonder - did that jar of Shillings sometimes just seem a little lighter than expected? You thought those paws could not in fact reach into it along with wallet and purse and umm, appropriate some small tax for tolerating the existence of humans in his domain? "Pffft"
Mine wouldn't last a day out in the wild. She loves her heating pad and eating plastic, is afraid of her own shadow, and must be on my lap at all times.
You know, cNotes have this little box for any response you might want to write. And it's labelled "Respond to this cNote," in case you haven't noticed. Which then makes me wonder if it actually finds an anonymous sender. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a way to express gratitude for the thought, apart from a sort of shotgun blast in the Newsfeed, on the chance that it might reach its target.
Personally, I hope that these responses do find their way through the fog of anonymity to the sender, since they do assuage the need to express gratitude. It's probably better not to tell me, if you know that they don't. Allow me this little, satisfying illusion, at least.
